Examples of the proportion of time spent in a specific location within the park (A Open area; B Trail) that was integrated with the mean nymphal density per 10 m2 by habitat (maintained grass, unmaintained herbaceous, leaf litter, impervious surface), site (open space vs. trails), and park identity to estimate the probability of human-tick encounter. The cumulative probability of human-tick encounter was estimated for each data point or observation (the numbers in the figure) within the site. A new data point was assigned every time a person being observed moved to a different location within the area and the time elapsed in that focal point was recorded as well as the habitat type; thus, one person could have one observation during that time period or several depending on their movement (see T1 to T2 in panel A)
